Removing Exchange server from DAG and uninstall Exchange

 Hi,

 I have two servers in a DAG. I need to remove one of them from DAG and stop using DAG. The server I am removing has the

  "Activation preference number 1" should that be a problem? When I have removed the server from DAG then ther will be one

    server in the DAG, I guess Ican remove the last one from the DAG and delete the DAG should that be a problem?

    After i am sure that the single Exchange server is running correctly, I need to uninstall Exchange from this one server,

     I have seen people getting a lot of problem when doing that, is there something I should beware off.

     thanks,

Move active db to other server, change AP of the current DB to 3 

Change AP of other DB which is active to 1

Then suspend mailbox copy

 Thanks for your reply.

 I do not want to go down to 1 server but it is the customer  decision :)

And make sure you have good backups before doing anything.
